"On the 30th of January I went in to be induced , the lady martine on the induction ward also delivered my baby girl back in 2022 with a student who is now fully qualified. ( which I thought was so lovely ) I wanted to deliver on the induction ward but I actually made it to the delivery room and can I just say Megan Wilmer you were absolutely incredible, from change over to my birth to going down to the ward you never left me. Even with the emergency button being pressed so many people coming in I’m so confused you still reasured me everything was going to be okay , you made my 4th and final delivery that was extremely fast so positive and just like the other midwives that delivered my children I’ll never forget you and you’ll always hold a special place in my heart. Thankyou so much baby girl had no name but she’s now called Lacey!
I’ll post some pictures hoping If you see this you’ll remember us 💗💗"

Thank you for sharing, Paige! Congratulations on the safe arrival of your babies 🥰

💙 Responding to your baby's feeding needs (however you decide to feed!) is not just about providing nourishment but also about building a strong emotional bond. Whether you choose to breastfeed, formula-feed, or a combination of both, the key lies in being attentive to your baby's cues and being responsive to their needs. Here's why it matters:
🌱 Proper nourishment is vital for their growth and development. Babies have tiny tummies, and they need frequent feeds to thrive. Being responsive to their hunger signals ensures they get the nutrients they need to flourish.
🥰 Feeding time is a unique opportunity to connect with your little one. The eye contact, skin-to-skin contact, and gentle touch during feeds all contribute to creating a strong emotional bond between you and your baby.
🧠 When you respond promptly to your baby's hunger, they learn to trust that their needs will be met. This fosters a sense of security and comfort, knowing they can rely on their caregiver. Feeling secure is amazing for their healthy brain development!
🧸 There's no such thing as "spoiling" your baby with too much love and attention during feeding time. Trust your instincts, follow your baby's lead, and cherish these tender moments together!

"Thank you so much for the midwifery and consultant teams who helped us welcome our gorgeous little man, Tybion Cai Harries, on the 5th November at 18.55 weighing 8oz10lb.

My whole journey from the start of the pregnancy through to the birth and aftercare was phenomenal and I can't praise the whole team enough for the amazing care and compassion I received throughout.

My labour was a long one as little man was way too comfy so I spent 2 nights on MLU with Kate and student midwife Abby. They regularly checked in on me, helped with some fun movements to see if we could jiggle him into the right position and gave me the best advice and options on how to proceed. They were warm, compassionate, calming and we even had a few giggles amongst the pain.

It finally became apparent in the early hours that I'd need an epidural and through the intense rolling contractions Abby helped me upstairs to obstetrics unit, she held me the whole way and I'm pretty sure I stared into her kind soul that"

Congratulations to Mazz and her family on the arrival of their little guy!! 💙 Thank you for sharing your story with us 🥰

Llais Cardiff and Vale are hosting a public forum on Wednesday 11 March 2026 at Whitchurch Community Centre, and wants to hear from you.

There will be short talks from Llais and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, as well as a Q&A session. This is followed by activities where you can share your views in a safe, supportive space, on any health topics you wish to discuss.
Topics include:
• Pregnancy & Birth

The most important insights come from those with lived experience, and we want to hear directly from you so we can advocate for change.

After the event, feedback will be collected and shared anonymously with services, who are required to respond to the feedback that is shared.
If you or someone you know, has experience in accessing women’s health and wants to help improve it, we’d love to see you there. If you can’t attend, you can still share your views with us directly.
